In Ireland we have long had a highly religious and traditional social structure with an
emphasis on family values. The sexual practices of women likely to become pregnant are
profoundly important, but so too are the customs and norms surrounding sexual
behaviour in society more generally. While sexual behaviour has been influenced
strongly by cultural and religious norms, frankness about sexuality or sexual relations
has been negligible or absent, with little reliable data for health service provision
purposes. In seeking to understand these issues we promote positive and creative
aspects of sexuality, identify vulnerabilities if and as they exist and support constructive
life choices.
